'No accidents took place': Kantara Chapter 1 makers dismiss boat capsizing accident on sets of Rishab Shetty's film
The makers of Kantara Chapter 1 have now issued a formal clarification on the latest news of a boat toppling over on the sets of the film. It was previously reported that Rishab Shetty, along with 30 other crew members, were on board when the vessel capsized, and they were able to escape unhurt.
However, it turns out that there was no fatal accident at play on the sets of the film in the first place.
Kantara Chapter 1 producer issues clarification on alleged boat accident
According to a report by The New Indian Express, the executive producer of the movie, Adarsh JA, has sought to dispel the untrue rumors. He highlighted that there was no one on the boat when it toppled over inside the Mani Dam reservoirs.
He added that the water vessel capsized due to strong winds and rain, and that there was absolutely no one around it when the incident occurred; therefore, there were no casualties. Moreover, Adarsh mentioned that the boat was a part of the background and not actively part of the film's shoot.
He said, 'No one was on the boat when it tipped over, and no accidents took place,' he assured. Due to strong winds and rain, the ship set used as a backdrop had capsized, but since no one was near it at the time, there were no casualties or harm to the crew.'
Kantara Chapter 1 shooting not halted, confirms producer
The producer went on to clarify that reports stating the film's shooting came to a halt after the accident are incorrect. He reiterated that the incident occurred far away from the actual shooting spot and thus filming continued as per schedule.
Assuring the safety of every actor, crew member, and everyone who's a part of the shoot, Adarsh remarked that all necessary permissions have been taken to shoot any kind of scene in water. Moreover, he assured the availability of safety gear at the shooting spot to prevent any mishaps that might occur.
He added, 'But our team members were not around it, and the actual shooting spot was away from that location. Everyone is safe, and shooting continues as planned.'
More about Kantara Chapter 1
Returning to the film, it is a prequel to the 2022 National Award-winning film Kantara. Rishab Shetty remains in the lead role for the movie, much like the sequel itself, which he also wrote and directed. Kanatar Chapter 1 is slated for a theatrical release on October 2, 2025.

Fans left divided as Bruno Mars rumoured to headline Fortnite festival Season 9
Image via Epic Games Grammy-winning singer Bruno Mars is reportedly set to return to the Fortnite universe as the headline act for Festival Season 9. While the move marks a significant addition to the Fortnite music metaverse, not all fans are singing in harmony over the news. The leak, which surfaced via reliable Fortnite insiders @ShiinaBR and @SamLeakss, suggests that Mars will take over the Main Stage from June 18, replacing Sabrina Carpenter, whose run is scheduled to end on June 20. This marks the singer's second major appearance in the game after his 2021 debut alongside Anderson .Paak as part of the Silk Sonic set. — ShiinaBR (@ShiinaBR) According to the leakers, two new skins will accompany his return - the "Bruninho" Outfit and the "Die With A Smile" Outfit, the latter tied to his collaboration with Lady Gaga. While specific gameplay features tied to the outfits remain unknown, fans speculate they will be included in the Fortnite Festival Season 9 battle pass. Bruno Mars' return sparks debate among fans Despite Mars' popularity, the leak has sparked a wave of criticism from Fortnite's community. Many players expressed disappointment over Epic Games' decision to feature an artist who has already appeared in the game. Comments flooded social media platforms, with users calling the return 'uninspired' and mourning the loss of the previously rumoured Deadmau5 appearance. 'It not being Deadmau5 is actually criminal,' wrote one user on X (formerly Twitter), summing up the sentiments of fans hoping for fresh talent in the Festival lineup. Others were more resigned, calling it the end of 'good festival seasons.' Still, not all responses were negative. A segment of fans voiced support for Bruno Mars' return, especially those excited about the new outfits. 'Wait, I want the Die With A Smile outfit,' one user posted. Another speculated that Ariana Grande could be the next artist, keeping the door open for future surprises. As anticipation builds, Epic Games has yet to confirm the leak. However, many believe the announcement will coincide with Fortnite's next major update, v36.10, scheduled for June 18. If true, Bruno Mars could take the virtual stage as early as today, marking a new chapter in the game's evolving concert experience. For now, the Fortnite community remains in wait-and-watch mode, hoping Epic delivers a show worthy of the Festival banner - whether it's with Mars or someone entirely unexpected.
